Question

Fuji apples cost $3.00 per pound, and Golden Delicious apples cost $2.00 per pound. A childcare center purchases 30 pounds of a combination of the two types of apples for a total of $80. Which value could replace x in the table? 30 – g + g 3(30 – g) 30 – g(3) 30 – g + 3

Answer 1

the answer is b

Explanation:

Answer 2

Let us assume number of pounds of Golden Delicious apples = g pounds.

Number of pounds of Fuji apples = Total number of pounds of both tyoes of apples - Number of pounds of Golden Delicious apples.

We are given total number of pounds of apples 30 pounds

Therefore,

Number of pounds of Fuji apples = (30 - g) pounds.

Cost per pound of Fuji apples = $3.00 per pound.

Total cost of (30 - g) pounds of Fuji apples = 3 times (30 - g)

= 3(30-g).

x represetns total cost of (30-g) pounds of Fuji apples.

Therefore, 3(30-g) value could replace x in the table.
